This enduring story of baby Jesus makes a wonderful gift any time of year. We are endeavouring to keep these nativity sets in all year round but due to their popularity this may not always be possible.
A nativity scene is a depiction of the birth of the baby Jesus Christ as depicted in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. The first ever recorded Nativity set - Scene was created by Saint Francis of Assisi in 1223 Greccio Italy. This scene involved using living people and animals. A Live pantomime performance was often performed. Within a short time every church in Italy was expected to perform a pantomime every year. Eventually static figures replaced the performance and elaborate clothes and great stages were built and displayed. Nativity scenes generally include the Baby Jesus and Mother Mary in a stable surrounded by Joseph, some Shepherds and at least one angel. Willow Tree Nativity Set by Susan Lordi.
